Star Wars bedroom ware quandary.

It probably sounds a bit funny while other people were eyeing up Jason's new shelves, I've been admiring his curtain. http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=22306

Like most children, I only had one set of curtains at a time, so the possibility of collecting different sets was zero. I had the light blue Star Wars curtains that were shipped into the U.K by American manufacturer "Bibb Company. " Jason's curtains are of a different dark blue style and are by a British manufacturer.

I checked out my ESB and ROTJ curtains and found that the copyright details are very difficult to spot. On the ESB curtains the copyright is printed faintly below R2-D2's feet "Black Falcon LTD. 20th Century Fox Corp." The ROTJ curtains are marked on the reverse at the top "HM Lucasfilms LTD 1982".

There was another ROTJ bed set that I don't own which was printed against a red background.

It would be very interesting if people could spot manufacturer details on the dark blue British produced Star Wars bed ware set or the red ROTJ one.

Someone going to raise the curtain on this thread? Poor Craig is in the dark here. :lol: :? :roll:

I'm not doing too badly on this one, considering that there's zero information out there on the U.K bedding. I know which company produced the dark blue Star Wars set but I don't know the year of production or if it was Black Falcon copyright or not.

I know the year and the manufacturer of the brown Return of the Jedi set. It's the red ROTJ set that's a mystery to me.

Craig.

Sending pm,

Might help

Groan :lol:

I've got the dark blue curtain too but no idea on the bedding

I had that ROTJ bedding but not sure if I still have it - might be in the loft - I'll try to take a look soon.

I also used to have a Star Wars quilt that zipped up into a sleeping bag. I'll see if I can find that too - might have to speak to my Mum and see if any of this is still at their place.

I've still got my original Star Wars light blue pillow cases from late 70s.

Me too. The light blue set was by the Bibb Company in the states, perhaps repackaged by a U.K distributor. The one in the picture us from America. "Mervyn's" is a now defunct American store chain.

Lom – A Star Wars quilt that zipped up into a sleeping bag? What kind of Star Wars bed ware nirvana is this?

Craig.

thats the one.. gorgeous (not you.. you might be.. but the image.. hmm)

Found the bedware and here's a few snaps..... If you need anymore details or photos please let me know what you need.

The brown ROTJ set



The red ROTJ set dated 1983



Label absolutely no use



Original Star Wars set - still my favourite by a mile - pillowcases are dark blue



Star Wars quilt - no manufacturer details anywhere



The above zipped up as a sleeping bag and partially opened to show inside

Those are fantastic pictures. Your Star Wars pillow case and quilt match the design of Jason's curtains http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=22306 The quilt is an extremely nice item that I've never seen before. I take it that the light blue item is a sheet?

Did you receive this set packaged up? I know that it was probably this manufacturer that included a cardboard sheet full of cut-out characters.
I also found a picture of a Star Wars blanket in the same style at http://originalstarwars.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/star-wars-bed-cover-and-pillows.html

Interesting that you have Return of the Jedi items of the brown and red styles. My brown set is made up of curtains and a duvet cover of the same pattern (the pillow case has gone missing). Did you receive your ROTJ set new? It could be that the manufacturer was mixing together the brown and red styles in one set.

The plot thickens!

Craig.

At least one catalogue company was offering a mix and match Star Wars bedroom ware set. The duvet cover is American but the rest seems to be from Britain.

If you're going to go sleep in your Star Wars bed, don't forget your Star Wars pyjamas.

Hi, Are you still researching the fabric manufacturer of the Star Wars Jedi sets in the U.K.?

I'm still interested in any information on UK Star Wars merchandise if anyone's got anything juicy.

Great. the HM Company that produced the brown and red duvet's in the UK is Heyjax Manufacturing Company limited. Image of sticker with info below. They also made the Ewoks comics fabric. The thing is that I can't find out any information on the company at all. You would think there would be something online but I've had no luck so wondered if you had found any info over the years?

It's important because I have a VERY juicy item! A prototype Revenge of the Jedi fabric made by this company but never put into production.

Pictures of the Revenge fabric would be awesome!

Sure. It's a great crossover fabric and they've used Kenner toy art

Revenge of the Jedi prototype fabric sounds very exciting. Pictures would be great to see.

I dug out these bad boys. i could have sworn they came from Marks and Spencer.
I'll fish out my Blue Empire and White Jedi duvet covers and see what information they had on them.
